Phillies vs. Dodgers Game Highlights (5/3/23) | MLB Highlights

So many of us as kids dream about this right that we're going to grow up and be big leaguers a very select few actually get To realize that dream Gavin Stone joins that fraternity today Dodgers minor league pitcher of the year last year had a 148 era and he's kept that rolling into triple-a this season. He's 24 years old He's from a small town about an hour from Memphis. It's Lake City, Arkansas We went to Riverside High School from there. He went to Central, Arkansas, and he was not a big-time recruit to go there He was not a big-time prospect at Central, Arkansas. In fact, he didn't even pitch in the starting rotation until he was a junior there Swarmer lifts the ball to right center field it is Betts and Altman And what does that feel like for Stone just to get a guy out runners at first and second for Nick Castellanos? But he pulls that one on the ground to third Everybody will be safe. It'll be Muncie's fourth error of the year He was thinking double play before he actually had the ball and he was looking towards second There's bases loaded and just went out now Let's see what stone can do in his first taste of adversity at the big league level in the air to center field This will at least get Trey Turner home Alton is under it makes the catch the throw goes to third It's a sack fly and the Phillies have struck first with their 22nd first inning run of the year So 20 pitches into this first inning yet to get that third out Phillies have loaded him up Too gone and a bouncing ball to second for Vargas Routine to finish off a first inning that was anything but it's an unearned run against Gavin Stone and his first inning in the bigs There's numbers two and two four four six era. You're really good as we mentioned the open numbers last three starts That's six four nine in the series with six runs batted in To get Mookie Betts, but he did a spectacular play to start the bottom of the first inning How athletic can you be well to God and here is Max Muncie? And a called strike three. That's a thing of beauty that sinker was so good the other day And it's really good right there second out of the second Nash warbird lied to right his first at bat stone rocks and fires Chopper to first backs Freeman up into short right field He feeds stone to finish off an 11 pitch second price asked for time because he was cleaning the plate But the home plate umpire did not offer it And a liner down the left field line. That's a fair ball scooting off the half wall Harper's around first heading to second the throw by Peralta He slides feet first and he's in there with a one-out double price is on the board thumbs up Here's Nick Castellanos runner in scoring position stone delivers and the pitch is hammered to left Peralta on the run won't get it It's a base hit that'll go to the wall Harper's around third He's cruising home to score and cruising into second with an RBI double is Nick Castellanos and the Phillies now lead it two to nothing Alec Boll coming up at 270 three home runs and 22 runs batted in That one's lined into right center field a base hit brings Castellanos home And the Phillies lead it three nothing two out first and second Mondo Sosa coming up That Sosa hits it back through the middle into left center field one run is in they're gonna wave March now They're gonna put the stop sign up. It's an RBI single for Sosa, and it's for nothing Philly's Mark Pryor is gonna go out and try to settle the nerves of young mr. Stone three straight hits here all with two outs now Stubbs try to keep it going runners on the corners All the Stubbs's love it two and two on Schauber Schauber pulls a line to that speared by Freeman bringing this third inning to a close so they get four runs The Dodgers have first and second nobody out. That's had a good night last night Attacks the first pitch hits a line at a left field that drops in front of Schauber Come on Peralta's headed for the plate He will score throw goes into second and the Dodgers around the board We'll keep that show more aggression lately goes after the first pitch as he did last night twice Yeah, he's got an RBI single Nola try to work around this third inning trouble But he moves it to sixth place all-time by himself on the Philly's strikeout list number 1410 Castellanos doubled home a run his last time Strikeout of Castellanos and there is the first major league strikeout for Gavin Stone I like that it came on the slider You know we talked so much about the changeup And I think so much is made of that changeup And I think teams are looking for that pitch to gone to two to Bryson stock Popped up left center field Altman comes on with Peralta Altman takes charge makes the catch one out one on bottom of the fourth Vargas coming up Vargas gets under this one in the air to center field. Did he get enough March to the wall? It's gone Sky scraping home run Miguel Vargas. He's starting to lock in Joe. Oh watch out Talented rookies got something to say and this game is far from over So they retire bets But two more runs score for the Dodgers the Phillies lead is down to two Victor Gonzalez comes in replacing Gavin Stone, and he sure has pitched well four games no runs He can play bounces one to Muncie the second one on the first they turn to Scoreless top of the fifth inning for Victor Gonzalez Jason Hayward leads off with the Dodgers That is the fourth strikeout for Aaron Time was down to two Swing and a foul tip and Garrett Stubbs hangs on for the fifth strikeout prayer No love as he works a one two three sixth inning. He's retired eight in a row Nolan struck out five hasn't walked anybody that Chris Taylor. Oh for one has been hit by a pit Taylor floats one into right field Castellanos a long way to go doesn't get there and overruns the ball It trickles away to the corner Chris Taylor heads for third Castellanos turns a single into a triple and the Dodgers get the tying run to the plate That's it for Aaron although five three lead no exit here in the seven sign on a board Go ahead run at the plate Dodgers trying to come from down five nothing Taylor third bats it first Freddy Freeman In the air right field Castellanos back at the track makes the catch Taylor in to score and it's a one-run game Freddy Freeman just misses flipping it upside down So that'll bring up Will Smith five to four ballgame. That's does not go Tying run 90 feet away go ahead run in scoring position infield comes in Vargas comes up Is complaining about the fact that Stubbs blocked the plate, but he's allowed to do it on an infield ball That ball was hit hard But Turner was able to get to it with the infield in and then make the throw to the plates Two out now second and third and Austin Barnes who has been struggling all season long Line drop in oh, it's fast Sosa in the left field for a hit two runs of score The ball was smoked by Barnes Sosa couldn't field it cleanly Outman came in Vargas came in and the Dodgers lead at six to five Oh, you don't leave the ballpark early nuts Brewster Grater All do you train on to try and get his third save of the year the hitters trade Turner? And then it's Bryce Harper and so Brewster Grater all is going to earn it Baltimore chop Rojas Miguel Rojas to go on in the ninth inning when you throw the context into this That's the defensive play of the year for the Dodgers Harper has been aboard four times today single double two walks a runner in scoring position for Bryson Stott He's 0 for 3 in this ballgame Swing and a miss Able to get it there to finish off the ninth inning Dodgers looking for a walk-off win face in an old friend and Craig Kimbrell's in this ninth inning He'll face Taylor Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman the walls are closing in on Craig Kimbrell and Max Muncy's coming up with A winning run 90 feet away Max Muncy swings at the first pitch Finishing touches the chef's kiss on a perfect homestand Joe you just can't count these guys out
